Very classic Viennese cafe. Since 1867, the cafe maintain one of my favorite tradition, newspaper and magazine shelf with also English newspaper. Lovely breakfast and the roll is very fresh. I enjoy the Sunday breakfast here before church gathering.

Amazing experience. One of the best coffee places in all of the Vienna. Old, has a soul, great coffee, great service, and a lot of history. Even memorized on of of the Eisner’s art masterpieces.

Everything about this breakfast was perfect. The waiter was sweet, the place wasn't packed at all, it was super affordable and the place is so beautiful, feels like having breakfast in a palace. This place is what cafe Central wishes it was. Loved the food. Will definitely come again.

I tried the best apple strudel in Vienna. The staff was very friendly and nice. But I want to express my special thanks to Constantin, who was the source of positive energy 💛 He organized the celebration of my friend’s birthday and gave us a birthday cake as a treat ✨

A nice Viennese cafe serving coffee, cakes, all day breakfast and local dishes. Looks a bit traditional and classic, but that is exactly what we wanted to try as tourists. We saw many locals sitting inside, so we thought this place must be a right place to try something Viennese. The cakes were tasty, and the service was impeccable. The waiter who served us was experienced, faultless and attentive. We also saw some people having late lunch, and their dishes look great. The only minor issue I found was the waiter said they only accept cash, which is not so common for tourists coming from a Nordic country. Also, it is unnecessary to tell customers that the bill doesn’t include service charges. Because I recognise their high level of service, and would be happy to leave tips, and I certainly did. I’d love to go back there again to try some local dishes.

came here for apfel strudel. also had melange and hot chocolate. all were delicious. i have only had 2 apfel strudels in vienna but this was the best so far. not too sweet, but the apple was baked and mushed (no apple slices). server was attentive and helpful. gorgeous interior as well and great location to go shopping after.

Good place to go to have a coffee and something sweet or any other of their savory dishes. They also serve beer.

I don’t give 5 stars. Café Ritter is a classic Viennese coffee house and they don’t make them like this any more. Located in the middle of one of the most famous shopping streets in Vienna, this place has it all: the perfect Melange, amazing Palatschinken and a snooty waiter to boot. Order everything on the menu. Enjoy your visit and stay as long as you want, real old school. I love it!

We found Cafe Ritter after searching the map for Kaiserschmarrn. It was a short walk from our dinner location and in the middle of a premium shopping area. The desserts are large portions and quite tasty. I had an apple strudel, although I was disappointed that it was served cold. Our waiter was swift and friendly, speaking German and English for our mixed-language group. We were a little i pleasantly surprised to discover at the conclusion that the cafe only accepts cash Euros (no credit/bank cards). While the rest of my party waited at the table, I had to walk about 250 meters down to the Bank of Austria to pull out cash so that we could pay the bill. In such a premium shopping area in a world class city with high tourism, the cafe needs to accept bank cards. Our ticket was over 20 EUR, which is a sufficient amount to accept cards. There are certainly prettier cafes in Vienna, but this one was a convenient location this evening. I'm not sure I would return specifically unless I just happened to be in the area again.

Great, traditional Vienna cafe. Wonderful apfel strudel. Sacher - in my opinion - better than in Sacher Hotel! Very friendly staff! :)

Coffee was good as cake but service is like mechanic with no friendly feeling. So sorry for this. I loved the atmosphere and place as well. Hope they will change attitude. Visit but do not expect too much.

Beautiful 🤩, best thing to do after a stroll in Mariahilferstrasse, Vienna’s most beautiful shopping street. Had a nice Viennese Schnitzel (21€), bit pricy though. Very friendly staff. Relaxing atmosphere. And nobody is nagging you to leave if you take your time and stay longer. Also great for breakfast. Would definitely come back

If you searching for the real Vienna atmosphere - come here!!! So elegant, smells old romantic, feeling as you in 1981. Perfect for any meetings or coming alone with newspaper or book. One of my favourite place in Vienna 💕 Big thanks for this attitude to your guests, each one feel as special visitor. 5*

We had coffee (Verlängerter & Melange) and Palatschinken. While the coffee was quite good, the Palatschinken (esp. chocolate) tasted way too industrial and even supermarket bought. The service is slow and it’s a shame they only take cash.

Very pleasant surprise and great old-fashioned cafe with excellent apple strudel and pancakes. Very kind staff and more than affordable prices. Strongly recommended. Cache only.

Over the Christmas period, we tried a variety of hot chocolates throughout Vienna, but one particular place stood out. Their hot chocolate was special. We thoroughly enjoyed their delicious cakes and the exquisite apple strudel.

I loved this Cafe. We were in Vienna for 3 days, we ate dinner here twice and had the Goulash soup, let me tell you it was the best soup I have ever had, and I eat a lot of soup. I would love the recipe. ❤️ Our waiter Constantine went above and beyond giving us lots of recommendations and made us feel very welcome.

Very nice place and extremely polite waiters, the space looks like an old Viennese cafes. One very negative point was the Sacher cake, probably the worst I tried ever. Hard and dry, almost no jam in the middle infact if broke in half when I laid it ok the plate. Avoid the Sacher here! Also no card accepted! Other negative point

(Translated by Google) ... was here many times many years ago - wonderful coffee house with typical Viennese charm! A waiter, a delicious melange, a strudel and the newspaper ... - and the charm of the Viennese ladies! A perfect start to the day! Thank you! At this point I would also like to commemorate Germund Fitzthum and his wonderful booklet "Der Poet im Cafehaus" .... (Original) ...war vor vielen Jahren mehrmals hier - wunderbares Kaffeehaus mit typischem Wiener-Charme! Einen Ober, einen leckeren Melange, einen Strudel und die Zeitung... - und der Charme der Wiener-Damen! Ein perfekter Start in den Tag! Danke! Möchte an dieser Stelle auch an Germund Fitzthum gedenken und an sein wundervolles Büchlein "Der Poet im Cafehaus"....

It's a very lovely place. Everything is super. The staff is super cute and very helpfull. ☕👌💕

Beautiful historic venue and a nice menu for Breakfast. The atmosphere is cool and the waiter was really nice.

Viennese coffeehouse atmosphere Seems the time stopped Waters are very friendly and discrete Juicy ham&eggs and good coffee

Awesome, improvement since the last time I’ve been here! The waiter France is kind and great. And the food was satisfying!

If you are looking for a traditional and typical Viennese coffee shop + pastry, then you have chosen the right place. Even the waiter that serves us comes with a Viennese attitude. Very authentic. I love it.

Looks fancy and isn’t even that expensive. Nice place to savour a Sacher cake (don’t forget to eat it with whipped cream and coffee).

Atmosphere is unbeaten, service is nice and smooth. I lost my soul in Vienna and I completely lost my way in the coffee with unsweetened whipping cream, a typical coffee at Wien. I was here alone, but I did not feel lonely. Family, friends, and group gatherings brought me warm conversations on cold days. What a beautiful day to be spent in this historic place.

We enjoy every visit there. The food is so very tasty, no matter what you choose. The staff is alway friendly and super professional. Please, be aware that Café Ritter accept only cash, no credit cards. And take 2-4 € coins for the staff.

Average food. Average service. Only accept cash

Definitely the real deal as far as a viennese coffee house goes. Cream on every beverage and cakes (though not as wide variety as I was expecting). The Sacher Torte was as dry as expected the Mohntorte was better. Coffee was good. Wait staff were ok but we are used to Italian standards. The best thing was the old world atmosphere and the vintage decor. That was delightful.

Service is not as good as expected. If you got a table in the back of the restaurant, the waitresses won’t come often or notice you. Apple strudel is just ok. Vanilla ice cream and the cream makes it much better.

Café Ritter. One of the most agreeable coffee houses in Vienna, and without a doubt the one I like best. Elegant and comfortable. Busy and tranquil at once. A place to while away the hours.

A nice Viennese elegant restaurant in the heart of Vienna. Always full. Service is fast. Waiter is not so friendly. Coffee and desert are nice. Tried their kaiserschmarrn and it’s ok.. not impressed but it’s nice to try.

Fair prices, great location right on the shopping street, the variety in the menue isnt huge but its nice for coffee and cake and maybe a small bite. Decoration is nice inside as well, I would recommend

lovely little marbled booth tables loved the beef broth soup with noodles, good fresh orange juice. sweet place

A definite attraction of Vienna. First our friend recommended here. Then, we went there three times in three days! Their strudel (apple and topfen) with vanilla sauce is highly recommended.

Great for easy affordable breakfast. Double espresso was pulled well. Everything is basic but done well. Staff are efficient and nice. Hot chocolate could be better, the cream is delicious.

A cute and cozy old-school spot nestled at a convenient location near the shopping district. They offer the classic coffee of Vienna called melange. I also tried the classic Viennese sausage with bread and goulash and it was good and hearty.

(Translated by Google) Delicious food but unfortunately the staff was arrogant. When asked if there was still a free table, the clerk looked at me, looked into his breast pocket and said I should just go through. Unfortunately he didn't know goodbye either. Respect should actually be basic towards others. (Original) Leckeres Essen, aber leider war das Personal arrogant. Bei der Frage, ob noch ein Tisch frei wäre, schaute der Angestellte mich an, schaute in seine Brusttasche und sagte ich solle doch einfach durchgehen. Verabschiedung kannte er leider auch nicht. Respekt sollte eigentlich Basic gegenüber anderen sein.

(Translated by Google) Everything was good up to the toilet. In any case, they are dirty, stink and filthy. The café was ok and the waiter was very friendly (Original) Bis zum Gang zur Toilette war alles gut. Die sind jedenfalls dreckig, stinken und sind versifft. Der Café war ok und der Ober sehr freundlich

Café Ritter is perfect to meet up with someone in a typical Viennese coffeehouse interior. Good for a stopover when shopping in the Mariahilferstrasse neighborhood. Though the service isn’t overly-friendly, the beautiful traditional coffeehouse interior makes up for it.

(Translated by Google) It has never been so good (Original) Sose volt ennyire jó??

(Translated by Google) The number one café in Vienna if you want to avoid the tourist-crowded cafés in the first district. A rustic atmosphere, originally bad-tempered waiters and strong coffee - that's what defines a Viennese coffee house. The managing director Mr. Holzer does an excellent job to preserve this jewel from a bygone era. Every time it is a pleasure to stay there, be it for a quick espresso, an extensive breakfast or a few splashes on a mild summer evening. Hopefully this tradition will go on forever. (Original) Das Nummer eins Café in Wien, wenn man den touristenüberlaufenen Cafés im ersten Bezirk aus dem Weg gehen will. Urige Atmosphäre, original mies gelaunte Kellner und kräftiger Kaffee - das macht ein Wiener Kaffeehaus aus. Der Geschäftsführer Herr Holzer macht einen ausgezeichneten Job dieses Juwel aus vergangender Zeit zu erhalten. Jedes Mal ist es ein Genuss dort zu verweilen, sei es für einen schnellen Espresso, ein ausgedehntes Frühstück oder ein paar Spritzer am lauen Sommerabend. Hoffentlich geht diese Tradition noch ewig weiter.

(Translated by Google) In the cafe to Corona. (Why not 5 stars.>> See below) One point that really made me happy was the socket with two USB charging ports. Price / performance ratio compared to other Wienercafé houses, such as Café Central, is excellent. Next to the ice cream shop Bortoloti one of the few cafés where you can still watch the goings-on of the people on the Mahü. I ate soup, sausages and a very good pastry. Also had a coffee which met my high expectations for a café house. Why not 5 stars? Well, the service is not bad in itself and the first time I ordered quickly after sitting down, it took me a little too long afterwards until it was noticed that I wanted to order something. Possibility of improvement, (so that I am not one of the many people who just says it could be better.) Just look a little more often for eye contact with guests who are not exactly fans of the card. Otherwise a very pleasant atmosphere. (Original) Im Café nach Corona. (Warum nicht 5 Sterne.—> siehe weiter unten) Ein Punkt der mich wirklich glücklich gemacht hat war die Steckdose mit zwei USB Lade Anschlüssen. Preis Leistung im Vergleich zu anderen Wienercafé Häusern, wie zum Beispiel Café Central ist Exzellent. Neben dem Eisgeschäft Bortoloti eines der wenigen Café‘s wo man noch dem treiben der Leute auf der Mahü zu schauen kann. Ich habe Suppe, Würstel und eine sehr gute Mehlspeise gegessen. Ebenfalls auch einen Kaffe getrunken welcher meinen hohen Erwartungen an ein Café Haus entsprach. Warum nicht 5 Sterne? Naja, das Service ist an sich nicht schlecht und auch das erste mal Bestellen erfolgte zügig nach dem hinsetzten jedoch, hat es mir in den meisten Fällen danach etwas zu lange gedauert bis bemerkt wurde das ich noch etwas bestellen wollte. Verbesserungsmöglichkeit,(damit ich nicht eine von den vielen Personen bin die nur sagt könnte besser sein.) einfach ein bisschen öfters nach Blickkontakt mit Gästen suchen die nicht gerade mit der Karte Fächern. Sonst ein sehr angenehmes Ambiente.

(Translated by Google) When I asked if the waiter could sell me matches because I wanted to smoke another one before I sit down, I was replied disparagingly: ???? ??? ????? ????? !! ??? ???? ??? !!. A cheek when you consider the prices in the Alt Wiener Café Ritter ... I'm not sure if it was because of my dark complexion that I was so reserved towards me .. Anyway, I lived and worked in the area for years, but a waiter disguised as a waiter has never told me about such a lawendel ... Never again!! And that dares to say in front of the assembled guests .. (Original) Auf die Frage hin ob mir der Kellner denn Streichhölzer verkaufen könnte, da ich noch eine rauchen wollte ehe ich mich hinsetze, wurde mir herabfällig geantwortet: ???? ??? ????? ?????!! ??? ???? ???!!. Eine Frechheit wenn man die Preise im Alt Wiener Café Ritter berücksichtigt... Ich bin nicht sicher ob es an meinem dunklen Teint lag das der mir derart reserviert gegenüber tritt.. Jedenfalls habe ich jahrelang in der Gegend gewohnt und gearbeitet aber so einen lawendel hat mir ein als Herr Ober verkleideter Kellner noch nie erzählt... Nie wieder!! Und das traut sich der vor versammelten Gästen zu sagen..

Classic coffee-house in the center of Vienna's shopping district. In walking distance to Westbahnhof and MQ and directly in front of legendary bus line 13A. Great selection of newspapers and journals. Clearly above average cakes. I hope it will survive. Why? It lacks spaciousness and a few touches of innovation.

Nice cafe where you can get drinks, desserts and foods (breakfast, lunch, snacks). Quite crowdy on Saturday morning. The staff is quick and polite. Toilets very small and not really clean (would need some renovation).

Good prices. Authentic viennese style

Traditional and elegant feel and particularly good coffee and strudel. First time we tried this place we got a particularly rude welcome where they wouldn’t even seat us in a half empty cafe and one guy even snatched the menu from us when we tried to have a look! Two years later exactly the same staff (which is a good sign) but friendly and efficient in what is often a very busy cafe. Friends have told us that you sometimes get waiters having a bad day but dont let it put you off, this is authentic Viennese cafe food at its finest. Will definitely take our chances for another visit to try more of the menu!

Waiters seem very unfriendly. Food is average. We ordered popular bfast set; Bread rolls is good, but coffee is average. $$

Original Viennese Café. One of the few ones, that is still frequented by people from Vienna :).

Perfect coffee, excellent food, great atmosphere in that it's quite loud in here but very relaxed. The service can be a little iffy but it doesn't take much away from the rest of the experience.

The strudel was really good and it’s really nice that they have soy milk for the coffee

Alright place to bring your tourist guests of any age. Great cake and good coffee. You can stay as long as you like and read or chill here.
